Quite a few rather long tracks tonight… A bit of an epic of drone noise from Melbourne’s Zond from a new split 12″ on Spanish Magic, and later we have hi god people from the flipside. Fabulous track from Underlapper‘s Morning Stalker, and some lovely piano processing from last year from Shoeb Ahmad.
Then we have something new from the Tango Saloon, with Jane Sheldon from Sydney’s sadly defunct Gauche, rather deliciously covering a wonderful piece of perfect poptronica from some years ago.
Also from Sydney is TJ Eckleberg, who launches his new album at MINT in King’s Cross this Friday night. Not as experimental as his fabulous last album, it’s an excellent mix of r’n’b beats and great songwriting.

And so it goes. Also on the live front, two great gigs to choose from on Saturday night: Guy Blackman launches his lovely album Adult Baby at Spectrum, and Adrian Klumpes‘s fantastic new trio 3ofmillions are playing at the Sound Lounge @ the Seymour Centre.

I’ve not heard Guy Blackman but he’s coming to Adelaide soon so I’ll be sure to go along. With some top quality local supports (No Through Road, Hit the Jackpot, Shame Spiral) it’s bound to be a good gig anyway.

Utility Fog teeters on the cusp between acoustic and electronic, organic and digital. Constantly changing and rearranging, this aural cloud of nanotech consumes genres and spits them out in new forms. Whether cataloguing the jungle resurgence, tracking the ups and downs of noise and drone, or unearthing the remnants of glitch and folktronica, all is contextualised within artist & genre histories for a fulfilling sonic journey.
Since all these genre names are already pretty ridiculous, we thought we'd coin a new one. So "postfolkrocktronica" it is. Wear it.
